Standing at a height of 6 1/2 inches, the shoe adds drama to any outfit pairing and is an accessible version of elaborate runway styles from the likes of Dolce & Gabbana and Dries van Noten. This striking sandal looks best when worn with a simple outfit, allowing for its [floral embroidery and studded accents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystalstudded-clogs) to stand out. The sandal also features heavy brass buckles, and boasts a black mesh material that resembles suede, while acting a more durable and stain-resistant alternative. Known for offering accessories that borrow from youth subcultures, YRU stays true to its signature aesthetic with this [bold shoe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoshield-xx01). Though vintage-themed, the sandal exudes a youthful air, thanks to its multicolored material and spirited print. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Maximalist Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to create bold, elaborate and eye-catching fashion pieces with intricate details. - **Youth Subculture Influence:** Disruptive potential for brands to tap into the unique and expressive styles of youth subcultures in their designs. - **Stain-resistant Materials:** Potential for innovative materials that resemble suede but offer better durability and stain resistance for footwear and other products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion designers and brands to incorporate maximalist styles and youth subculture influences into their collections. - **Footwear:** Disruptive potential for footwear brands to explore the use of stain-resistant materials that resemble suede but offer increased durability. - **Accessories:** Opportunity for accessory brands to create bold and expressive pieces that embrace maximalist fashion trends and youth subculture influences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unique Platform-Style Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platformstyle-sandals.md) - [Dynamic Ultra-High Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platform-sneaker-1.md) - [3-in-1 Platform Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugg-goldenrise.md) - [Romanticized Shoe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mademe-x-dr-martens-1461-quad-shoe.md) - [Boldly Patterned Colorful Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salomon-sr811-platform.md) - [Textured Floral Design Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-society.md) - [Bohemian Accessory Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/call-it-spring-raffia-and-cork.md) - [Beweled Fashion Forward Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simone-rocha-2.md) - [Stylish Platform Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bae-clog.md)
